Hi Dori, give me a shout. I think I can help

**Rorschach** · 11-24-2008, 12:49 PM

Perhaps I'm old school but that's completely insane! 30K would see me about 6GB and 15-30 sales... Not a tube site obviously.

You're hosting a tube site on a shared account? Ouch...

**RayBonga** · 11-24-2008, 01:40 PM

where are you hosting? didn't know you could use shared accounts for tubes

**starpimps** · 11-24-2008, 01:41 PM

get a dedicated box...

**lazycash** · 11-24-2008, 02:12 PM

I bet your host cuts you off pretty soon.

what's wrong - so do I. But I don't host any of the content

I do see periodic disruptions though, so will have to move off some time.

thanks! i've sent you an email.

**doridori** · 11-24-2008, 03:01 PM

yea its on shared host....

you can see right now, what happens when visits penetrate around 10,000.....it will not load at all! http://youjav.com

the site is wanting to grow...but the server and money is a major constraint.

**hypedough** · 11-24-2008, 03:07 PM

Maybe tubesites aren't the way to go?

**Star 69** · 11-24-2008, 03:39 PM

That's insane!

**Bhunter** · 11-24-2008, 03:41 PM

there is no money in tube sites

my site youjav.com is eating up around 1TB of bandwith for 30,000 uniques a month....its on a shared server....and can be slow...

is that normal for tube sites?

any suggestions for hosting solution ? i probably will not be afford the costs....but i hope i can work something out, like give a permanent advertising space for a sponsor that can provide a bigger server....

has anyone done this before? give a sponsor a chunk of permanent advertising space, in return for covering the server costs ? i almost did it with asianscreens.com but my site was too puny back then (still is compared to others).

you have people embeding your videos. there is no way 30K users would eat that much traffic even for tube site. look in your logs for other tube sites using your stuff.
here's one of them: hotandawesome.com

**spacedog** · 11-24-2008, 03:44 PM

Your videos are probably being shared or displayed on other sites.

**Fat Panda** · 11-24-2008, 03:54 PM

tube site, shared, wow

**The Duck** · 11-24-2008, 03:56 PM

That site is full of stolen content from big Japanese studios.

I was wondering where all that content was from.

**fris** · 11-24-2008, 04:43 PM

just over 3mbps not much

**Jarmusch** · 11-24-2008, 04:49 PM

And people used to say "well at least with tube sites not any newbie can start one with a cheap shared hosting account".....

on a side note, pretty cool tube script you have. Is it custom?

WTF! they closed it down, saying i was using too much cpu....which is bull, since it hasn't been using ffmpeg for the longest time...its just regular php and mysql wok...

unbelievable, 7 month and this happens.

**riddler** · 11-24-2008, 06:22 PM

Look dude, don't take any offense but they did you a favor. Now you dont have any hosting bill so you can save all that wasted money. You were never going to make any money on a tube site anyway especially hosted on a cheap virtual. You were destined to fail before you even began.

yea i know what you mean, but i think its possible with a better server. which is what im looking for.

and i probably will not get back the rest of the money i paid with teh same host.

also it was running on a shared host....VPS would be luxury.

i've checked it earlier, but there was nothing that stood out....and how do you know that site embeds stuff ?

still a mystery.

**lazycash** · 11-24-2008, 07:23 PM

If you were on Cirtex then you were lucky you lasted that long, usually they force you to get one of their semi dedicated plans.

**doridori** · 11-24-2008, 07:24 PM

haha yea they did try that just now...
